First, let’s remember that caliber is all that matters. Skill level, barrel length, bullet type and weight, powder, local hunting conditions etc. are completely irrelevant.
If you use less than a .30 caliber weapon to hunt deer inside 150 yards:
-You are a wimp that can’t stand recoil.
-You take pleasure in causing animals a slow, painful death.
-You are quite likely a member of the silly and childish tacticool club.
-You are probably a poacher
-You are an unsuccessful hunter, because anything less than .30 cal usually bounces right off of deer hide.
-You are an arrogant fool that vastly overestimates your marksmanship.
-The “systematic” evidence favoring your position consists of the time your Momma’s cousin’s daughter instantly killed a 12 point buck from 175 yards out while shooting uphill in a raging snowstorm with a .22 Short… while blindfolded.
-You can’t possibly understand why anybody would use a .30 caliber or larger.
-You don’t deserve to call yourself a hunter.
If you use a .30 caliber or greater to hunt deer inside 150 yards:
-You use a big gun in a futile attempt to make up for you physical, mental and or romantic shortcomings.
-You are a great big mean bully with extraordinary levels of testosterone.
-You can’t hit the broad side of a barn because it’s a proven fact that nobody can handle that kind of recoil.
-You take pleasure in wasting meat as most of the deer you manage to shoot are blown to smithereens.
-You use a big gun because you have no ability to exercise self control with respect to shot selection.
-The “systematic” evidence favoring your position consists of the time your best friend’s brother in law’s granddaddy lost a doe that he shot 17 times in the heart and head with a .243 from 10 yards out.
-You can’t possibly understand why anybody would want to use less than a .30 caliber firearm.
-You don’t deserve to call yourself a hunter.
I’m sure I left a few things off these lists, so feel free to add on.
